Macaron Tutorial

Monday, May 12, 2008

Yes, I know, it seems like the 25th is weeks away and there is still plenty of time to make something for the event....and you are right...but you know what they say: time flies. I was happy to see from your comments and the wonderful entries I have already received that you dig the theme this month, but I am difficult and I want more. Pleeeeeaaaase!!! Don't forget to send the entry at sugarhighfridaycitrus AT gmail DOT com. For all the rules, see this post.

I have been baking a lot for home and work these past few days and there will be another SHF-Citrus entry tomorrow for a special someone and a celebration but in the meantime I thought I'd give you something from the archives to entice you and maybe inspire you for this round.

Citrons Givres : one of my favorite treats as a child and still has an adult, although now I like to add a little vodka to the lemon sorbet. Funny story is that in most French restaurant a lemon sorbet with a touch of vodka is called a Colonel...interesting isn't it? Even my dad the Army guy can't figure out why...and he knows everything (of course, he is a dad and that's his job!)

Full post and recipe can be found here and I have already made a couple batches this week to cool us off with this crazy humid and hot week we have had. By the way, don't you just love the fingerprints on the lemons?....Not!!

This looks great. I love sorbet. Duh doesn't everyone?!Untill your last comment I thought the fingerprints in whatever you have coating them were intended to be there and looked really cute.But there you go, I'm even a fan of your stuff-ups! lol.

For the past few months (since I've been a Daring Baker)I have loved coming to your blog and getting blown away by your gorgeous desserts..you give me something to "hope" to attain to one day as a baker. :) But recently I have also come because your are such a sweet girl and you write beautifully!!Ciao!
